Product Overview

Citroen AMI is an entry-level subcompact battery-electric hatchback in production from 2020. It is powered by 8hp of electric power aided by a tiny battery capacity of 6kWh.
Classified as a "quadricycle" that requires no license to drive, the AMI can reach only 45kph. Citroen uses the cheapest materials it can find for this vehicle, and it shows in "cars" that are just a year old. To reduce cost, Citroen even used the same panels for the front and rear, and the left and right sides are also identical.
A plus is the extraordinarily small 7.2m (23.6ft) turning circle.
